I'm Anson!

I'm currently...

  • studying systems design engineering at Waterloo
  • on our varsity rowing team as coxie
  • building hardware for cheap clean energy
  • raising Socratica, a collective of engineers, artists, ++ that work on / demo their passion projects
  • making a feature length documentary on a cautiously pro-growth, resilient, pragmatic, optimistic, and bipartisan approach to climate change (a mouthful!)

I'm excited about

...

  • the climate cinematic universe, electrification and resilience (history, energy policy, batteries, etc)
  • the weird and silly
  • cultivating the potential of people, throwing life-changing events, match-making, raising baby ideas
  • engineering that makes your heart flutter
  • telling the history of technology , theories of civilizational prosperity, institution design

If any of those resonate, please

reach out!

I'm always looking to befriend people who are as kind as they are ambitious, and as thoughtful as they are optimistic.

FILM

Unstuck: The Documentary


A feature length documentary on industrial climate solutions that resonate with conservatives. Ongoing, but first time directing, producing, and editing my own large project! Basically a large research project documented on camera. Now know an abnormal amount about video codecs, permitting, and the ERCOT grid
